I don't think you meant any of those??? Holy pants, don't go getting sidetracked now and making life more difficult for yourself! Forget mucking about with PS2 > USB adaptors if you value your patience... Just try your existing USB keyboard (and a spare one if you've got one to hand) and rotate it through the ports methodically until you get a result. Slow and steady is what you want here, not firing off on crazy tangents. What is your funky "not cheap" keyboard by the way? And when you say USB, do you actually mean "wireless but on a USB dongle" by any chance? Because that might explain things.
